 Paul asks for a new mailing list to discuss hidden-service related
 statistics with researchers, including: "how best to gather them, existing
 results, how to protect privacy in gathering or reporting statistics, how
 potential changes to HS design might affect statistics or the gathering of
 them, etc."

 If I understand Paul correctly, the idea of discussing these things on a
 private mailing list rather than on tor-dev@ is that researchers may be
 more willing to disclose speculative or preliminary work if it is not
 public.  Paul is considering to make the archives public after six months.
 This new list is also supposed to be temporary until we have reasonable
 hidden-service statistics in Tor, if I understand correctly.  All
 discussions of actual proposals and code patches will still happen on tor-
 dev@, of course.  This list is just for the research part preceding design
 and code.  Paul can probably elaborate on the decisions made here if
 needed.

 Information required:

 What is the list name? - '''hidserv-stats'''
 What is a one sentence description of the list? (see ​lists.torproject.org
 for examples) - '''discussion regarding research on hidden-service related
 statistics'''
 Who will be the list maintainer? - '''Paul'''
 Should the list be public (ie, anyone can subscribe) or closed? -
 '''Closed'''
 Should emails sent to the list be archived? - '''Yes, but privately for
 now'''
 Should this be listed on the front page? - '''Yes'''

 I'll create a sysadmin ticket for creating this list in 24 hours from now,
 unless somebody objects.
